Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 240 milliliters Milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 300 milliliters Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 25 grams of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and the remaining 25 grams of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Slowly pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the top of the brown sugar and cocoa mixture to avoid disturbing the layers. Do not stir; the water will form the sauce as the pudding bakes.
Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and the sauce is bubbling underneath.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. As you serve, spoon the rich sauce from the bottom of the dish over the top of each portion.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
